Atlanta 96 will remain our greatest glory in the world of football. Watching on a black and white TV, I screamed my heart out that night. ThankGod for the golden goal rule that year.
The talent and skill exhibited by Nigeria from 37:00 to 38:50 is unparalleled in the entire game. Kanu, Amunike and Amokachi conjured that goal from almost nothing.
They harassed the Argentines in their own half for that period, collected the ball, and with exquisite touches, put the ball in the net.
APPLAUSE!
West never touched Ortega….
Honestly, Argentina is powerful
But kudos to super eagles

Atimese okocha is annoying with his dribble, I enjoyed watching dis match.
Jay Jay, Kanu and the whole Nigerian squad made Africa proud. Let's not forget the Referee Luigi Collina, I loved the way he was always in charge. I loved this golden team.

O Brasil ganhou : 5 copas do mundo, 4 copas das confederações, 2 títulos olímpicos seguidos, 56 títulos internacionais, dados fornecidos pela FIFA. O Brasil é um país vitorioso no mundo do futebol. Em , 15 . 01.2022.
I feel like African teams have this potential but we don't play to our strengths anymore. We just tend to be more defensive instead of dominating the game
Those days when football was a passion
The key for any African or American Caribbean country to win a soccer World Cup would be to have a minimum 5-year process with class "A" coaches from Argentina or Brazil and they will be invincible. Greetings from America.
Now i knew why Nigerian are called the giant of Africa
this is a team that very cares about their country on like today a national team
Nigeria really played an amazing match this day, this game made me love super eagles forever
Amazing team.
Africa was blessed. We had Nigeria and Cameroun
